NEW YORK, HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1859. 5 | sion of the republican party to its sectional ant’ ‘avery organization against all competitors. Mr. Wasisbura, (opp.) of Me., cbaracterized the demo” ¢ratic party as ab oligarchs, the organ apd represeatative -of the siave propagandists, and fully committed to executs aheir comman’s. The republican party is the truly demo- cratic party. In those States whore it rélicd on its own pe cipies and energies it 18 united and impregnable. Its fidelity to these is the condition of its success; it has notin gain by avoiding the real sues He condemned equi fPovercignty’, und said it bad quashed Cass, Douglas otber orginal advocates—au omnibus would n wali who aubere to that doctrine, He aavocated legislation ‘by Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territories, raprobates the Dred Seott decision, Tho struggle of f dow over slavery has barely begun, and hence it becomes \¢he duty of the republican party to remain firm, and in no event to lower its high standard of principies. im “The siruggle between freedom and slavery bas barely begun!” Mr. Seward says that there ‘is “an irrepressible conflict” going on between | freedom and slavery, which must go on until all @ States shall have become free States or slave ‘Biates ; and this is the doctrine re-proclaimed by . Washburn in Congress, The prospect, there- fore, of any abatement of the anti-slavery pres- gure of the republican party is not very inviting # to the louse materials of the opposition of tae Know Nothing and old whig parties, They, and | all other parties concerned, may as well, there- , fore, prepare at once for the inevitable scrub iyace of 1860, and for that tremendous conflict for ithe Presidency, in Congress, which will try the ‘atrength or weakness of this Union more severely (than it has ever been tried before. Frencu Spoiiarions.—The Senate, by a vote of 26 to 20, hus passed the lobby bill of French spoliations, comprehending a draft upon the htreasury of five millions of dollars, Where is this money to be found? Mr. Cobb is out of funds. lis expenses are heavy, his receipts are |, flim, and he is over head and cars in debt. How, ), then, is this lobby bill of five millions to be paid? ! Before they pass it in the Ilouse, we hope the Chairman on Ways and Means will enlighter that } body on the ways and meaus of the treasury, and , thus prevent, if possible, the too rapid increase of our national debt. | THE LATEST NEWs. | ITERESTING FROM WASHINGTON, i Foreign Relations—The Acquisition of Cuba—The Panama Outrages—Proposi- Alons to Place $30,000,000 and the | Army and Navy at the Disposal i] of the Presiccnt—The Capture f of Genern!

Mr. Douglas accepts Mr. Slidell’s explanations, and denies having authorized or counte- manced any attacks of Slidell. So the matter ends. ‘Tho President and Miss Lane are having their first evon- ing reception this season at the executive mansion. | It is understood the republicans in Congress are tacitly / agreed upon opposition this session to the Pacific Ruil- ! road, with the view of staving the question off till next i Congress, when their party expect to carry it. Their } object ia to acquire credit for such 2 great national work, and to use it as a means of perpetuating their power. ‘The House Committee on Foreign Affairs, at a meeting this morning, discussed the Caban question at consider- | able length. The committee are disposed to place in the hands of the President ample means to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba. Mr. Branch’s resolution }mamed one million dollars. ‘That is deemed in- sofficient, and the committee will probably re- | port from seven to ten millions for that purpose. Some of the committee would increase the sum to thirty mil- Jions. At the next meeting the committee will decide. ‘The Senate Committee are engaged upon the same subject. ! Mr. Slidell’s proposition of yesterday, naming thirty mil- lion dollars to negotiate for the purchase of Cuba, is un- derstood to be in accordance with the views of the Presi- dent. The committee will report to the Senate upon the subject ina few days. ‘The House Committee on Naval Affairs this morning authorised Mr. Winslow to report bill adding twenty | advitioval pursers, eleven surgeons and fifteen assistant | surgeons to the number already existing in the Navy. ‘The Ways and Means Committee had another protracted | meeting this morning. It is not making much headway with the Tariff bill, It is now waiting information from ‘the departments. The committee is unadvised as to the amount of the loan that will be required. When they ob- tain that information they will bring forward a bill. Mr. Stephens will endeavor to get the Oregon bill up to- morrow. The republicavs and the rump of the Know Nothings are preparing to defeat it this session, and will ‘Aght gt at every point. An application has been made to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, by P. C. Bombalier & Co., of the New York aud Havana Express, that the retaliatory acts of 1832 and 1834 against Spanish vessels shall be suspended by him so far fs granting to Spanish mail steamers the same privilege of importing six tons of goods from Cuba, without the in- ‘currence of tonnage duties, which the American mail ‘steamers enjoy at Havana. Consul General Helm, at that port, las been directed by the Secretary of State to report the facts of the law and the practice with regard to our steamers there; and it is not improbable that the applica- tion of Bombalier & Co. will be granted, as the truth of the facts they state are known, and the official evidence only is required for record ia the department. The in- crease of this concession to our steamers, from its former limit of three to six tons, was obtained by an application made by the same house to the government of Cuba, and the concession was ratified by « royal order from Madrid on the 12th of Septembor last. The Pacific Railroad lobby is actively at work. It in- elndes quite a strong (numerically: Virginia force, of which the principal actors in the printing lobby scheme of last session are prominent actors. This is for the South- ern roule, and includes any number of newspaper cor- respondents and scavengers. So corrupt is the whole scheme that it would not be surprising to find a bill yet pushed through for a couple of roads, thus reviving tho land stealing swindles on a gigantic scale. ‘The French Spoliation bill will be pressed on the House by a tremendous lobby. Two residents of this city, who “have grown rich—one of them at all evonts—by dining, wining and button-holing members for years past, will make, it is said, nearly half a million of dollars by the Passage of this bill, Little fortunes have been made by some of the editors of the Union out of recent contracts, An investigation into this business would develope some rich transactions. A movement is going on quietly here to organize an op- Position to the Charleston Convention on the part of lead- Ing democrats from the North. So far Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wiscongin, Minnevota and Tllinols are the only States mentioned as likely to take hold of the movement, ‘Vul the promoters of itare in hopes of spreading it over all the Northern States, It is of course another step towards disorganizing tho party, and if successful must fead toa scrub race for the Presidency. [ouglas’ friends Are believed to be at the bottom of it. THE ORNERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Waasmvatow, Jan. 11, 1859. The Secretary ofthe Treasury has transinitted to Con- Gress tho report of Professor Alexander, who was com- ‘missioned to ascertain the relative value of the coinage of the United States and Great Britain, and fix the rela. tive value of the unitary ‘coins of the two countries. Tho Secretary says that the report is not so encou. raging a8 he hat hoped, though with tho limited power conferred upon Professor Alexander no fixed policy could have been adopted. It is for Congress to say what ad ditional steps are to be taken. The British Treasury au thorities recommend that our government be invited to indicate such « plan as may be made the basis of further treatment : The joint rogolution reported to the Senate today by (Mr. Mason recites that, by reason of the distracted end revelutiouary cond itive of Mexico, of certain of the States of Central America, and oceasionally of those in South America, the lives and property of American citizegs are subject to lawiess violence, or otherwise placed in peril, all redress in the usnal diplomatic forms being in vain, and it being the indisputable duty of the government to protect the lives and property of our citizens against law- less violence, therefore it is propoged to authorize (he President to use the military aud paval forces, and inter- pose in such cases when he may deem it necessary. Messrs. George Taylor, Niblack, Covode, Gartrell, and Harris of Mary!and, were appomted by the Speaker of the House to-day a select comanttee to examine the accounts of Mr. Scaman, the late Superintendent of Pub- lic Printing. Mr. Douglas, ia the States today, replies to Mr. Siidell’s recent publication, saying, ‘It is not true I have author- ized or countenanced anonymous attacks upon him. It is true, however, that when the fact was first brought to my notice that Dr. Brainard, a federal officeholder, and my enemy, had caused to be published during my absence, in the abolition organ of Chicago, a ‘bese fabrication,’ with the name of the Hon, Jobn Slidell as authority for its truth, I denounced it as such a calumny deserved, and ex” pressed the opinion to my friends that it should be copied and circulated for the purpose of showing the base means employed to defeat my election, and also with a view of drawing forth such disclosures as would expose to publics contempt the real author of the cainmny, which object bas been fully accomplished by the letter of Me. Slidell.” The Mexican and Central American Colonization Association baye added Arizona to their plan of settlement. It is understocd to be support- ed by prominent Southeracrs, and New Yorkers They have already purchased certain grants, and are negotiating for others in Arizona. General Hen- ninggen, a8 Chief Engineer, will probably during the en- suing spring or summer take out a large body of men. ‘The remains of Mr. Byron, formerly of the Magnetic Telegraph office, in this city, leave’here this afwrnoon, in charge of his friends, per Adams’ express, for Clinton. THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. SECOND 10N. Sonate. Wasnxeroy, Jan. 11,1859. UY, ACQUETION OF CUBA. The bill introduced by Mr. Slidell (adm.), of La., yes: terday, which was inaudible from the gallery, was for an appropriation to facilitate the acquisition of the island of Cuba by negotiation. The bill says that, Whereas, Cuba geographically possesses a commanding in fluence over the large and apuually locressing trade, foreign and coastwise, of he siiaslenippt valley; ‘Whereas, ‘the island, in fis present colomtal condilion, must continue a source of foury mmoyance, evdangerivg the friendly relations betweei the Unit Spain the aggressions of iis iocal huthorty upon atuocieam obey merce ‘and oftizens, for which tardy redress can only be had by circuitous demands on Spain; an ‘Whereas In the opinion of ‘Congress, ‘and in accordance with the views of the President. Tast means of settling the existing and removing fuvire dificuldes, i 0 expedient tatinegolistions for the purchase of the island should be re- uewed— pcihetefoie, be enacted, &c., That thirty millions of dollars be placed in in'the President's hands for expenditure, either trom cash in the treasury or to be borrowed on five per’ cent bonds of one thousand dollars each, redeemable tu twelve to twenty years, A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Mr. Mason, (adm.) of Va., from the Committee on Fo reign Affuirs, reported a bill authorizing the President to use the land and naval forces of the United States in cer- beg gases. He would ask for its consideration at an early a sf REPORT ON COINAGE, ETC. The Secretary of the Treasury sent in Professor Alexan- der’s report on coinage, and it was referred to the Com mittee on Finance. The remaining*routine business was of an unimportant pature. THE HOMESTEAD BILL. Mr. Jouxson, (aém.) of Tenn., said he would call up the Homestead bill at an early day. NEW MAIL ROUTE TO THE PACIFIC. yd rors ) of Minnegofa, introduced a vill to route from Lake Su r to the Pacific. THE PANAMA OUTRAC Mr. Davis, (adm.) of Miss., introduced a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President for the cor: reepondence in relation to the outrages on American citi- zens on the Isthmus of Panama. DEBATE ON THE PACIFIC RAILROAD HILL Coming up, Mr. Gwix, (adm.) of Cal., expressed the be ay that Avec os vote would be taken on Thursday next, ir. Of Mass., Dad the flour. He said that years re bebe th the acquisition of California, before its placers of gold had jured our countrymen to the shores of ‘the Pacific, the idea was conceived of a railway transit acroes the continent, which would make our country the great highway between Europe and Asia. Since the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo gave our republic the title deed of the empire, the construction of a railway to the Pacific had engaged the profound attention of the nation, The opinion of the people had been pronounced in favor of the speedy completion of that great national work which would carry into the heart of the continent the light of Christian civilization, develope the wealth and power of the nation, and bind logether the dwellers on the Atlantic and Pacitié slopes of the Rocky Mountains. He should not discuss the general issues involved im the construction of ‘that great work, for those issnes had been discussed be- fore the people and they had pronounced for it. The sole uestions for consideration were, ‘On what route shall the road be constructed’ and “How shall it be built?’ The route from Lake Superior to Puget’s Sound was the shortest; it had good hard wood and water, but the nation can hardly be asked to take a route on the ex. treme northern frontier. He wouid wiliingly vote to give at least thirty thousand acres of and to the mile to aid in the constriction of such a work over that route. The central route across the continent, from the bfissouri to San Francisco, would be pre-eminently a national route. It would accommodate the entire country, north and south. ‘He was for that route, because it was for the whole coun: wy. The route on the southern rim of the country, by the way of El Paso, was a mere sectional! route. The country from E! Paso to the Pacific was an arid region of barren sands. Over most of it steritity reigns, Birds could hardly fly over it without ‘rying their provisions with them. (Langhter.) The Senator from Georgia (Mr. Ivergon) had proposed to build roadg—a northern and a southern road—one bordering the territories of the British Queen and the other on the frontior of Mexico. That Sen- ator thought the time was at hand when the South must go out of the Union or give up slavery, and was for going out if the Senator from New York (Mr. Seward) or any of bis compeers shall be elected President in 1860, which he seems to think may be the case, inas- much as the repablicans have swept tue free States. That Senator might rest assured that the threats to raise the demon of disunion in 1860 would not make tho. Sona- tor from New York (Mr. Seward), Mr. Chase (Ohio), Mr. Read (Pa.), Mr. Banks (Mass.), or thoir political ‘asso- ciates whoge names had Deen connected with the Presi- dency, any less dear to the freemen of the country. But the Senator from Georgia would construct a road over the El Paso route preparatory to seceding from the Union. ‘This Southern route had been known as the Desert, but hereafter would be known as the Pisunion route. While he (Mr. Wilson) would not vote for any plan that would make that route the national highway to the Pacific, he would vote any amount of lands to build it as a local route. He would give the whole country south of the thirty-fourth parallel, from El Paso to the State of Califor- nia, to the construction of this local road. He was op. je to the bill reported by the commuttee, because he wemed it wholly inadequate to construct the road, It would not secure money enough to locate the road. Men of cay vie would not embark in any such scheme, and it would passfinto the hands of a claes of greedy speculators— Mr. Strenp establish a m men like the operators on the Texas Pacitic road—men who would take millions of stock when they had not a dollar to Invest. If the bill pase in its present form we may sce the road constructed through four or five bundred miles of the bestl and west of the Missouri from the Big Sioux to the State of Texas, and we may sec the road in that State built to the naked plains where the desert begins, one hundred and fifty miles this side of El Paso, but we should then find that the road would not be made over the sands and barren plaing from that point to the borders of Cali- fornia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota bad millions of the richest lands ‘on the continent, and with money at four and five per cent in New York, those States could not raise money to construct their mag, ificent rail- ways. How and where could seventy-five or one hundred millions of money be raised for lands—only one-third of which were arable—to construct that great national work? He asked for the speedy construction of a railway 4 the Pacific over the central regions of the country, and mplish that object he find Proposed to amend the pond ing Dill, by providing at once for the location and construction of the work by the money of the nation. He proposed to set apart the proceeds of the public lands, within one hon- dred and fifty miles of the road, as a fund to pay the bonds issued to construct the road. Adopt the plan, enter at once opou the great work. use the boundless credit of the nation, and in ten yoars, perhaps sooner, we should gee a railway from the Miseour: to San Francisco; and wlthough he believed the road would not for years PAY dividends upon ite cost, it would iinme the plains, pases and recesses of the interior of the republic with | the light of civilization, develope the houor and wealth of the nation, and tond tothe unity of the countey, by binding together with ties of inter MTvetvon the | millions who are hereafter to live « antic and | Pacific slopes.

The House took up the resolution reported at the Jast session from the Committee va Foreign Affairs, disap” proving of the act of Commodore Paulding in the seizure of Watker and his followere; but inasminch as the vlew of ihe President is in accordance with thiayposition, the com- multee think no action necessary. Several amendments thereto appending, one presenting the thanks of Congress to Paulding aud his officers; a second that Pauiding's act, being without author! mets the condemnation of the House, and a third assert ing the right of our citizens to expatciate themselves to, help their neighbors struggling for freedom, a right of which they cannot be coustitationaily deprived. Mr. SuiTH, (adm.) of Va., moved to lay the whole sub- ject on the tab Nogutived, 83 against 105, The ptr ac by. 0 Edeeninn 102, refused to refer the sub- Jock taba Goma of the Whole on the Stato of the inion. Mr, Matusow (adm.), of Va., made an unsuccessful mo- tion to table the whole matter. The amendment declaratory of the right of expatriation, aud that agserting that the capture of Walker was within the Jetter and epirit of the instractions of the Secretary of ioe Ladepatd ‘but without authority Of law, were rejected, as iso the amendment condemnatory of Commodore Peete latter by 56 against 128.

THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL, The naepoee yaw the consideration of the motion of Mr, Sirenwan PP), of Ohio, to refer the naval appro- priation Dill to th mmittes of the Whole on the of the Union, as proposed by Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, who now ‘opposed that motida, saying it had been found wise to entrust only one committee with financial ques- tions, and no good was to be accomplished by the course now recommended. He repelled the remark, so often re- peated, that the Committee of Ways and Means sought to absorb'the power of the House. Mr. MonTGomeRy (opp.), of Pa., desired to ascertain whether arrangements had been made by which tho revenue of the government isto be increased. A large national debt has been created. While Congress is asked. to vote thousands and millions of dollars, ho vould inquire whether the recommendations ot the President are—— Mr. Crawrorp, (adm.) of N. C., interrupted him, say- ing be objected to ‘this Darangue. The Svmaxxr said—Mr. Monigomery’s remarks were not pertinent. Mr. Montcomery continued—If the Committee of Ways and Means have made no arrangement for an increase of the revenue, he, of course, being from Pennsylvania, was not willing to increase the ‘national debt, and would thore- fore vote to rofer the bill to the Naval Committee. Mr. Bocock, (adm.) of Va., wanted the bill so referred in order to give it a thorough overhauling, and to see whether there could be rooted out anything’ that ought not to be there.

Bat if he does not, and shoul be incapable of returning to the Capitol during the session, the republicans will not possess @ constitutional majority to pass any political bill. In such contingency, it may happen that the sixteen republicans of the Senate may conscienciously decide that General Mandeville’s bas become vacant, and that Mr. Pomeroy is fairly enti- tled to it. But as Mr. P. is a decided Know Nothing, and wili undoubtedly act in concert with his brethren, Mr. Johnson, of Albany, and Mr. 0. B, Wheeler, of Ulster; it is by no means certain that the blicans will not find im Mr. P. rather a refractory politi and a doubtful friend of all their political measures. Senator Ely offered a resolution as follows, which was adopted unanimously :— Resolved, That the Commissioners of the eed fae bet. quested to communicate to the Senate Gaping yey’ dither of them may possess, in relation to the title of in oaeKet, Washington market Ss tee che ot New York, wpe the lease executed Inst of the execut the same; oe that they also communicate the Anountat the previous: mae revenue of said property to About all the information in possession of the Land office is this:—The corporation of the city of New York filed bese 2 those me eran, above high water mark without ‘tate or the knowledge or approbation of the Cor as ts ofthe Land Office. The city has occu- pled the grounds fot several years, and somebody has received enormous annual rents from the hucksters occu- pring stalls thereon. Some nine months since Owen W. ennan and his partuer applied to the aforesaid Commis- sioners for a lease of those grounds. The lease was exe- cuted, the State receiving five thousand dollars, payable quarterly in advance, for one year, the lessees to be at all the expense of contesting the State title with the city of New York. It is in the courts , but a receiver was appointed to receive the rents. The Commissioners of the Land Office have no knowledge that the disputed grounds ever cost the State a single doliar, nor is there any evi- dence that the State has derived nnd revenue therefrom, otherwise than whathas been paid by Messrs. Brennan fond partner. ‘The authorities of the city of New York have no more authority to fill in lots iylog below high water mark than any private individual, and in doing 80 they have certainly trespassed upon the rights of the State. What has been done in the case of the West Wash- ington Market grounds has also been done upon the Bat- tery enlargement; some eight or ten acres have there been filled in without consent of the State authorities. So with the Lowber property on the East river, where city has paid some two hundred thousand. dollars without any guarantee from the State.

ACADEMY OF Mvusic—FxstivaL oF THE St. GRoRGR’s Soct- Ery.—On yesterday afternoon and evening performances were given in aid of the funds of the St. George's Society, to large audiences. The first instalment included an Opera matinée, when ‘“‘Norma’’ and “LaServa Padrona’’ were given, the latter by Piccolominni and the former by Laborde and other artists. In the evening there was a concert, in whieh Piccolomini, Caradori, Mies Brainerd, Mime. Graever-Johnson and others assisted, and selections from the “ Creation,”’ in which Formes sung the music of Adam, and Piccolomini that of Eve, with the ‘ @ho- rus of the Liederkranz.’’ The British national anthem, “God Save the Queen,” was likewise sung. The solos in this were announed to be sung by Mlle. Piccolomini and Formes, but in place of Piccolomini Mme. Caradori appeared. There were then loud calls for Pic- colomini, who appeared, and, laboring under some ex- citement, informed the audience that it was not her fault that she had not sung previously. She then proceeded to sing the verse, beginning “0 Lord! our God, arise,’ and was rewarded with the unanimous ap- plause of the house. It seemed that it hai been arranged that Piccolomini was to sing the last verse, and that she resisted a subsequent attempt to change the programme. Excepting this episode, the performance was not novel, and cals for no especial criticism, Asa whole, it was very good, and in the con- cert and oratorio Mile. Piccolomini added fresh laurels to those she has already won upon the operatic stage. On this evening, the last performance but one of the opera “Les Hugucnots” will be given, with Formes, Laborde, Poinsot and a first rate distribution throughout. THE FAMILY HERALD.
